The ACC has set its Friday night slate for the 2025 season. After already announcing the 2025 schedule with 8 Friday night games, the conference and media rights partner ESPN announced 2 more Friday night games on Wednesday.
The new games are North Carolina at Cal (Oct. 17) and Cal at Virginia Tech (Oct. 24). Specific channel assignments and kickoff times will be announced at later dates.
Here’s the full schedule of 10 Friday night games featuring ACC teams during the 2025 season:
Aug. 29 – Kennesaw State at Wake Forest
Sept. 12 – Colgate at Syracuse
Sept. 26 – Florida State at Virginia
Oct. 17 – Louisville at Miami
Oct. 17 – North Carolina at California
Oct. 24 – California at Virginia Tech
Oct. 31 – North Carolina at Syracuse
Nov. 14 – Clemson at Louisville
Nov. 21 – Florida State at NC State
Nov. 28 – Georgia at Georgia Tech (Mercedes-Benz Stadium)
Of note, Bill Belichick and the North Carolina Tar Heels will be featured on multiple Friday nights in games at Cal and Syracuse. The Belichick has brought national intrigue to the 2025 Tar Heels.
Georgia Tech played in one of the most thrilling games of the 2024 season, an 8-overtime thriller in Athens that went to the Bulldogs. This year, the Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate rivalry game will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Friday of Thanksgiving week.
Clemson won the ACC Championship in 2024, securing a College Football Playoff bid. The Tigers will enter 2025 with the goal of repeating as conference champions and making the CFP field of 12 again.
